Is racism in the southern U.S. different than other parts of the country?
I've heard that parts of the southern U.S. have Jim Crow era racism, but I have never been there so I wouldn't know first hand.

Yes. Down South it's more hidden less systemic than the North. I think that's because of the history and not wanting to be portrayed in a negative light. But up North, it's more apparent. You have states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Michigan, and Wisconsin that carry a lot of Jim Crow energy. Certain neighborhoods are deeply segregated. The police departments in those places are much more intrusive. There's a lot of clannishness. A lot of open out angry White Americans who are dealing with the same stuff that the South did during the Civil Rights era. It's changed. Most of the racial events down South are few and far in between and are mainly isolated incidents. That's my take on this as a Black American male. 🙂 🇺🇲
